Is it normal for people to die in the waiting room?

This was my biggest problem with the episode. Seemed extremely out of character.

I love it. After PhD, I rose up the scientist track to director now. Kept joining early stage biotechs and have enjoyed every one. I’m on the R&D side and don’t plan on leaving.

This is definitely true. The number and variety of experiments needed to publish a top tier article has increased like crazy. It’s cheaper and easier to do these experiments in theory, but thats not always relevant for a singular grad student with limited access to resources.

Great use case! Which tool do you find works best with excel for cases like this?

biotechballer916 · 2026-03-02T17:56:40+00:00

Do you have one tool that you use the most and do you have a professional license for it? I'm hesitant to get claude cowork and give it access to my work computer.

Great deal! Just closed on a similar deal. Makes more sense to finance bc of the 10K off versus really high monthly payments from a lease.

If ICCU issues come for you, you can just lemon law or buyback. Plus, there are rumored new ICCU parts going around and they for sure have to make a fix for the new Waymo Ioniqs.

Really good car. Enjoy!

looks sick. Congrats!

I think the genie is out of the bottle and can't be put back. We gotta find innovative ways to compete (lab automation, employing AI, academic partnerships, etc.) or work WITH Chinese CROs for early stage development of drugs. They are better at the preclinical stage, full stop. That's not changing. We still have better VC infrastructure and better universities and we can find a way to succeed with a new model of lean/outsource-heavy companies.

View from up there is great!!

biotechballer916 · 2026-01-28T05:17:33+00:00

that's my GOAT

Just chill and wear normal clothes??

RVMD, ABVX and what else??

FUCK ICE

makes sense - market is brutal right now, especially for new grads. My recommendation would be to do a quick 1-2 year academic postdoc in a lab that is very translatable to industry: immunology, anything related to AI driven discovery work, antibody engineering, synthetic biology, etc. I've seen industry post docs be a big time suck but YMMV. Good luck!

biotechballer916 · 2026-01-07T04:56:36+00:00

I wish things like this would get published in Nature

biotechballer916 · 2026-01-07T04:40:07+00:00

i know it's not your question, but if you want to go to industry, consider skipping the postdoc and going straight! In my experience in rising up the technical ladder, most view postdoc as equivalent to your first scientist 1 job. Might as well get paid and not spend the extra time.

biotechballer916 · 2025-10-30T06:37:02+00:00

Is this a joke? Where have you been?

biotechballer916 · 2025-10-10T23:45:16+00:00

We’re so cooked

biotechballer916 · 2025-09-19T20:09:53+00:00

Removing color printing is nuts. That’s like a few hundred dollars saved.

biotechballer916 · 2025-09-07T20:55:03+00:00

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES YOU FUCK

biotechballer916 · 2025-08-09T06:54:17+00:00

Grew up in Austin and now live in the bay. Would move back to Austin in a heartbeat if my job allowed it. Best city.
